Product Description
Slightly smaller and far more slender than a typical acoustic, Ibanez's GA35TCE thinline nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar is a comfortable fit for anyone from flatpickers to finger stylists alike. To give the GA35TCE a clear voice that suits blues and country, rock and pop equally well, Ibanez built this workhorse acoustic guitar with a back and sides made from mahogany. A solid spruce top balances out the GA35TCE's deep and rich low end with an even balance of midrange clarity and high-end sparkle. And to top it all off, you're even ready to take the stage thanks to the GA35TCE's Fishman pickups and AEQ210T preamp/tuner system. The combination Ibanez chose, a spruce top on a mahogany back and sides, has been a favorite among songwriters and live performers since the beginning of modern American music. Together, these tonewoods give the GA35TCE acoustic-electric guitar warm and present lows and clearly defined highs, leaving plenty of space in the midrange for your vocals. Whether you're the humblest of Saturday afternoon porch pickers or the seasoned pro who's been hauled from show to show a time or two, this Ibanez GA35TCE acoustic-electric nylon-string guitar was made for you. Everyone needs an inexpensive acoustic guitar you can pack up, head out, and run off with anytime you need, without worrying about damaging any priceless instruments. But your "beater" guitar doesn't need to sound bad, and the Ibanez GA35TCE is more than proof enough of that. In fact, its natural acoustic sound makes it a great campfire guitar, but it's small enough to be your new favorite couch guitar as well. The built-in AEQ210T preamp (complete with XLR out!) sounds great plugged in, so you'll most likely find yourself holding your new favorite stage guitar too when you take your GA35TCE acoustic-electric on stage!

P.S. not sure why "thickness" needs to be rated, I knew how thick it was when I ordered it. But I gave it five stars anyway.
1. Being a slim line design is perfect for me since if I want it louder, I plug it in to my amp, headphones, and I can used a multitude of effect pedals with it to really play around with the sound, add some delays, reverb, etc. So the loss of that full body guitar sound is not an issue for me personally at all but it may be different for you. I personally love the way Ibanez GA35TCEDVS sounds both with and without an amp. For my purposed it is perfect.
2. I don't know if they did this on purpose, but the small circle inlay on the 7th fret is designed in a way where it shines and stands out more than the 3rd, 5th, 9th, and other inlays. This was a very nice surprised as the 7th fret is used for reference a lot of times in songs, so having it shine out a little brighter is wonderful. I have no idea if other Ibanez GA35TCEDVS models are like this too, if they are, that was a beautiful tough by Ibanez. Sometimes the little things count.
3. The neck is not a traditional classical neck which is straight the entire length, the Ibanez GA35TCEDVS neck is more similar to a steel string acoustic where it gets gradually smaller the closer you get to the head stock, and I don't know about others but I find this a LOT more comfortable to play on than a traditional bigger classical body neck.
4. The cut out. No need to say much about this other than if you play higher up on the fret board a lot, 12th and higher, this simple cutout is so helpful and makes playing songs easier for me. Less finger gymnastics.
5. Built in tuner is very helpful. I have an app on my phone which I've been using 'GuitarTuna' on my phone which is a great free app for quickly tuning guitars, but the onboard tuner of the Ibanez GA35TCEDVS is so easy to use I just use that now. Very helpful.
6. Last but not least, the looks. The Ibanez GA35TCEDVS is one of the most beautiful looking acoustic guitars I've ever seen and owned.
